In September 2021, the remnants of Hurricane Ida swept Perkasie Borough's 1832 covered bridge off its abutments in Lenape Park, PA.
Residents had saved this Town Lattice truss style bridge from demolition in 1958, and the National Park Service added it to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
Following the Hurricane Ida damage, the borough is rehabilitating the bridge, and helical piles were selected for the deep foundation replacement.
EAS's Geotechnical Engineer, Ryan Zhang, P.E., recommended 12 CHANCE RS2875.203 round shaft helical piles with 8", 10" lead configurations.
Eastern Highway Specialists installed the piles with a Pro-Dig drive head and CHANCE digital torque indicator. They completed the installation on time and on schedule.
